Well, it looks like Red Square and the Sears Tower are the next global landmarks facing swift and explosive destruction at the hands of Michael Bay and his enormous robot troops, with the news that Transformers 3 is set to film in Moscow and Chicago.

The sequel, which is set for July 2011, starts shooting in May, with Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf returning to play the hapless humans running away from rampaging robots(probably carrying a Macguffin) and Ehren Kruger writing the script (not joined this time by original screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman). Bay has previously promised that this one will not go for more and bigger explosions, instead delving into the Transformers' mythos and becoming "darker". We'd still bet Grandma on there being a fair whack of destruction though, so remember that "fewer explosions" is relative.

I have been a huge Alyssa Milano fan since I first laid eyes on her in the show Who's The Boss, to buying up all her music CD's while I lived in Japan. So anything that stars her I will be letting the world know about.

Christina Applegate is the latest to join the Farrelly brothers comedy "Hall Pass," in production at New Line. Alyssa Milano, Larry Campbell and Vanessa Angel also have jumped aboard.

The new cast members join Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer, Amanda Bynes, Stephen Merchant, J.B. Smoove, Nicky Whelan and Derek Waters in the comedy, which began shooting Tuesday in Atlanta. The film centers on what happens when two husbands are given permission to go outside their marriages for guilt-free romantic liaisons for one week.

Bobby and Peter Farrelly wrote the script with Pete Jones and Kevin Barnett and are producing with their Conundrum Entertainment partner Bradley Thomas.

Universal craved a sequel to Angelina Jolie’s assassination tango/loom tutorial Wanted. Unfortunately for the studio, Jolie is leaving them…wanting. We’ve just heard the actress has pulled out of the planned Timur Bekmambetov-directed sequel at Universal, and the studio has pulled the plug rather than recast the film. As for Jolie, we hear she is now intent on starring in Warner Bros.’ Gravity, a space thriller to be directed by Children of Men’s Alfonso Cuarón from a script he wrote with his 28-year-old son, Jonás.

Like Wanted 2, Gravity had previously been set up at Universal, with Jolie set to star. But a few weeks ago, the studio put Gravity into turnaround, possibly because it’s such an artistically challenging project: Jolie would be alone on-screen for much of the movie, playing the sole surviving human member of a space mission, desperately trying to return home to Earth and her daughter. (In that way it’s reminiscent of t…

Sandwichjohnfilms resident film reviewer got a private screening of the film, and make sure you check out her blog to see how her experience was for this event.

“The Yellow Handkerchief”, loosely based on a short story by writer Pete Hamill, is the story of three lost souls who happen upon each other one average Louisiana day. Starring William Hurt, Maria Bello, Kristen Stewart and Eddie RedMayne, the film starts out with, quite fittingly, yellow-washed credits.

The story centers around Brett Hanson (Hurt), a recent ex-convict, making his way back home. He meets Martine (Stewart) and Gordy (Redmayne) on a trip across the river. Through a stroke of bad (or good) luck, the three strangers are stranded together and slowly learn about each other’s histories and how they ended up in the present day.

William Hurt plays Hanson with gusto. He’s lost, hurt, hopeless and hopeful all at the same time. He plays both loner on a journey and father figur…

Looks like EW has a Buy More mole just tipped me off that Josh Schwartz is casting younger versions of Chuck and Ellie ( 7 and 11, respectively) to appear in a flashback sequence in Chuck’s

season finale. No other details were provided, but I spy a connection between this and Scott Bakula’s return as Bartowski patriarch Steve. Also, if you recall, Schwartz recently declared that Bakula’s Chuck comeback arc would be “the biggest thing we’ve ever done on the show.” Put it all together and what do you get?Please Leave A Comment- Source-EW

By Last we heard about a proposed movie based on DC Comics' Flash, writer David Goyer said it was "shrouded in mystery." Well, the mystery has lifted a bit, if we are to believe our athletically inclined pals at IESB.net: They're reporting that Greg Berlanti, co-writer of the upcoming Green Lantern and director of Life as We Know It, is in line to direct:

The name should ring a bell or two, Berlanti wrote "Green Lantern" with one my favorites Marc Guggenheim and was once attached to direct the film before WB settled on Martin Campbell.

It's unclear whether Flash will be based on Goyer's initial idea or will be written by someone else. And, of course, way to early to know who will put on the red suit, though Ryan Reynolds was once Goyer's choice (he's not involved and will instead play Hal Jordan in Green Lantern).

Witherspoon remains attached to star in "This Means War," which McG will direct. Fox and McG hope to begin lensing as early as late spring or summer.

Will Smith's Overbrook shingle is producing the comedy.

Script has gone through multiple rewrites over the years. As it stands now, storyline centers on two spies who are lifelong friends until falling in love with the same woman. It was scribe Timothy Dowling's revision that attracted Witherspoon and Cooper, and pushed the project toward being greenlit.

"Blue Mountain State" Coming Back For A Second Season I had the chance to meet the guys from Spike's "Blue Mountain State" at Spike's Scream Awards last year and they were some great guys taking the time out to talk to me and for giving me some insight on the show before it came out. And so far this season the best episode has got to be when Craig Shilo looses his promise ring at the strip club, when they went there to celebrate and throw him a promise bachelor party.

The show has been renewed for a second season which is great news for us over here at sandwichjohnfilms.

The series follows three incoming freshmen (Darin Brooks, Chris Romano, Sam Jones III) who attend Midwestern football powerhouse Blue Mountain State and must quickly adapt to college life while juggling football, women, classes and nonstop hazing.

How to Train Your Dragon, also known as How to Train Your Dragon 3D, is an upcoming computer-animated film by DreamWorks Animation loosely based on the 2003 book of that same title. The film stars the voice talents of Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Gerard Butler, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Craig Ferguson. The film is scheduled to be released on March 26, 2010.

Here is the new trailer from DreamWorks Animation.

The film is set in a mythical world of Vikings and dragons. The story centers around a viking teenager named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor is disliked by his tribe and its chief, Hiccup’s father, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler). However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. After he entangles a dragon with a bolas-shoo…

In this tough marketplace, if you want to make another movie about a complex historical figure like Robert F Kennedy, you'd better bring to the table an actor with chops and bankability to excite a financier. Matt Damon does both those things. I've just heard that a deal closed at New Regency for an RFK film that has Damon attached, with Gary Ross directing and Steven Knight scripting. Damon will wait to see the script before we know whether or not the project will really happen. The film will be based on the Evan Thomas biography His Life, which Landscape Entertainment’s Bob Cooper optioned and will produce with Ross and his Larger Than Life partner Alison Thomas.

While Damon just played South African rugby star Francois Pienaar in Invictus, he has never played a real figure like Kennedy. The film will trace RFK's transformation from the younger brother in the shadow brother President John F Kennedy to a strong national leader …

The Losers finds the once-and-future Uhura taking on the role of Aisha, a mysterious South American hellion who joins forces with Clay (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Roque (Idris Elba), Pooch (Columbus Short), Jensen (Chris Evans), and Cougar (Oscar Jaenada) to take down the man responsible for their collective misfortunes, Max (Jason Patric).

An explosive tale of double cross and revenge, “The Losers” centers upon the members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The team–Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar–find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max. Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score when they’re joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful oper…

The biographical story of the friendship between Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, who went on to form the groundbreaking all-girl rock band the Runaways in the '70s, the indie film stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning as the band's teenage guitarist and singer, respectively. The fact that both actors star in the super-successful "Twilight" franchise likely played a part in the film's appeal.

Bob Berney and Bill Pohlad's Apparition has picked up U.S. distribution rights to Floria Sigismondi's "The Runaways."

MSN in France got their hand on an exclusive behind the scenes look of the filming of Iron Man 2. The scene they show is from the Monaco race scenes in the film. And they look amazing. Favreau can do no wrong.And be sure to stick around for a new trailer. I know if nay of you are a geek like me you were so excited to see the first trailer of the film.

Warner Bros. Has released The last official trailer to the upcoming Platinum Dunes' remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. The film stars Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger. When I met Jackie at Comic-Con last promoting this film, he was such a laid back guy and super cool. I have always been a fan of the early Nightmare on Elm Street films as a kid. And once they released the first trailer I was hooked.The film also stars Rooney Mara, Kyle Gallner, Kellan Lutz, Thomas Dekker and Clancy Brown.

Freddy Krueger returns in “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” a contemporary re imagining of the horror classic. A group of suburban teenagers share one common bond: they are all being stalked by Freddy Krueger, a horribly disfigured killer who hunts them in their dreams. As long as they stay awake, they can protect on another…but when they sleep, ther…

Mickey Rourke is in negotiations to play Conan’s father in Lionsgate’s “Conan” movie.

Marcus Nispel is directing the pic, which being produced by Nu Image/Millenium Films and sees Jason Momoa playing the barbarian warrior created by Robert E. Howard.

Shooting is scheduled to start in Bulgaria in March.

The story sees Conan embark on a quest to avenge the slaughter of his people including his father, Corin.

Rourke, who had been tipped off to play the father by website Latino Review in January, was offered the role, but dealmaking fell apart. The two sides came back to the table in the last couple of weeks.

Rourke has been making the most from his Oscar nomination for “The Wrestler.” In a similar path to John Travolta after his “Pulp Fiction” nomination, Rourke has signed on to a slew of projects, ranging from high-brow (“Passion Play” with Bill Murray and Megan Fox) to low-brow ("The Expendables" with 1980s action heroes) to big commercial pla…

It could happen as Marvel conducts screen tests this week in its search for the actor to play Steve Rogers, the alter ego of the title character in its "Captain America" movie.

The company's latest superhero movie is being directed by Joe Johnston and tells the story of the young infirm man rejected from enlisting who becomes America's symbol of liberty during World War II and eventually a member of Marvel's superhero team the Avengers.

About seven actors have moved to the front of the super soldier serum testing line and have either tested or are expected to screen test this week and next at Marvel's Manhattan Beach headquarters.

Those known to be on the list with John Krasinski include Michael Cassidy (who appeared in"Smallvile" and who tested for the Superman movie when McG was going to direct it), Patrick Flueger (one of the stars of "The 4400" who most recently appeared in the Tobey Maguire movie "Brother…

I know a lot of you folks are going to ask "Isn't Goyer writing the third Batman film?" Goyer is only helping in the story, he ain't writing it. Just like The Dark Knight where he only helped with the story.

Without any further adieu..

The talented David Stephen Goyer, the man who made sure Nolan stuck to the legend of El Dark Knight, has been hired to write the next chapter.

1. Thomas Tull, the head of Legendary, got tired of all the discussion and decided chingate, let's do it. So he went to Goyer and Goyer had an idea that actually takes the movies back to the John Byrne incarnation. Modern. Believable. FUN! So Tull got Goyer hired.2. The film will not be called Superman and will be called THE MAN OF STEEL.3. Brandon Routh will not star in the film.4. Nic Cage will NOT star in the fllm (lol)5. Bryan Singer is not expected to direct.

Mark Millar walks around acting like he was going to write it? El Taco discovered t…

I had a chance to talk to Michael Biehn last weekend at the Hollywood show. And Yes my daughter Aurora is a huge Terminator fan, I know some of you parents are saying "why did he let her watch that movie" you can thank my Brother and my good friend Randy from TheArnoldfans. Please check out his site for his exclusive interviews with Michael Biehn,Robert Patrickand Linda Hamilton.

I waited in line to get her an autograph from Michael and when he was done signing I asked if he could make something special for here. And he said of course anything for her. Michael is one hell of a guy and I wish nothing but the best for him in the future.

And here you go.

When I showed her the video, she had the biggest smile on her face. Yes I think Michael has a fan for life now.

I been going to Comic-Con the past few years as a fan and I have really enjoyed the city and all it has to offer. Met some really cool people and saw some amazing stuff. Something I look forward to every year.

If it did go to Anaheim I could add a stop to the Happiest Place on earth Disneyland, and I am sure that the prices of hotel in Anaheim would be much cheaper then San Diego. And it would be easier to access other attraction around the area like Hollywood and Los Angeles.

Wherever they decide to hold Comic-Con I will be there.

The city of Anaheim is trying to lure the annual comic book and sci-fi convention called Comic-Con from its home in San Diego.

Anaheim officials confirmed this week that they have submitted a proposal to Comic-Con board members to host the event at the Anaheim Convention Center in 2013.

With Comic-Con being such a bust to the economy of San Diego I would be surprised they would let it go with out a fight. Internal surveys sho…

Generation Xers may have bemoaned the redo of their 1984 childhood favorite The Karate Kid (I know I did) with none other than silver spooner Jaden Smith taking on the Ralph Macchio role. But, perhaps the results from Sony’s early test screening of the movie from director Harold Zwart (The Pink Panther) will win converts to rejiggering Mr. Miyagi’s karate-lessons-hidden-in-manual labor. (Jackie Chan takes on the Wax on, Wax off mentor role.) Pay attention to the last scene, Remember the song. Gotta love that one.

Official Synopsis:

In Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and…

Fox has picked up the rights to the sci-fi book series known as the Fourth Realm Trilogy, written by reclusive author John Twelve Hawks, and has set "Watchmen" co-writer Alex Tse to adapt.

The first book, titled "The Traveler" and published in 2006, is set in a U.S. society run by a secret organization seeking to control the population via constant observation. Seeking to rebel against these constraints are an almost extinct group of people called Travelers, who can project their spirit into other dimensions, and their protectors, called Harlequins.

The inaugural tome centers on a reluctant Harlequin named Maya who must protect two naive Traveler brothers.

The books were best-sellers and critically well-received, with comparisons to Dan Brown, "The Matrix" and "Star Wars" used to describe a series that explores the ideas of free will and public surveillance, secret societies and good versus evil.

AICN reported back in October of last year about this news and now Variety is confirming it now.

Studio is bringing Doc Savage -- known as the Man of Bronze and hero of pulp novels, films and comicbooks -- back to the bigscreen.

Shane Black is attached to direct the film from a screenplay he is penning with Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry. Neal Moritz ("Fast and Furious") will produce through his Sony-based Original Film banner.

Shane Black, who scribed screenplays such as "Lethal Weapon" and "The Long Kiss Goodnight,"

One of the most popular characters in the pulps of the 1930s and '40s, Doc Savage was also popularized on radio, film and TV. Trained since birth to be nearly superhuman in every way, Doc Savage uses his skills and powers to fight evil all over the world.

"Doc Savage is an icon, a character with limitless possibilities," said Columbia co-president Matt Tolmach of the character, who is …

In the course of one chaotic week, the lives of three conflicted New York City police officers are dramatically transformed by their involvement in a massive drug operation.

Burned-out veteran Eddie Dugan (Richard Gere) is just one week away from his pension and a fishing cabin in Connecticut. Narcotics officer Sal Procida (Ethan Hawke) has discovered there is no line he will not cross to provide a better life for his long-suffering wife and seven children. And Clarence "Tango" Butler (Don Cheadle) has been undercover so long his loyalties have started to shift from his fellow police officers to his prison buddy Caz (Wesley Snipes), one of Brooklyn's most infamous drug dealers. With personal and work pressures bearing down on them, each man faces d…

UFC has already been on a roll these past few year, and now they are shooting for the stars. What I mean by that is that they are headed to a movie theater near you soon.

Fathom’s entertainment arm brings fans together in the comfort of their local movie theater to experience unique, affordable events, showcasing live or pre-recorded acts with special behind-the-scenes and/or other unique features.

We reported last month about this film coming out. and now we have more news about the upcoming film and who will star with Vaughn.

Ron Howard is setting Kevin James to play Vince Vaughn’s best friend in the untitled Universal Pictures comedy about infidelity. The film is Howard’s next directing vehicle from a screenplay by Allan Loeb. Howard and Imagine partner Brian Grazer are prepping a spring start in Chicago. Kevin and Vince will play best friends and business partners, and Vaughn is tortured when he observes his pal’s wife getting intimate with another man. Should he tell? The comedy came from an idea by Grazer, who’ll produce with Vaughn and the actor's Wild West Picture Show banner. Imagine’s Kim Roth is executive producer. The buddy system has made for a nice transition for James after his long-running TV sitcom King of Queens. He paired with Will Smith in Hitch and Adam Sandler in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. After carrying …

The naughty guys over at Platinum Dune are starting to put some feelers out there. Here is the one sheet poster for the upcoming A Nightmare On Elm Street film and also we have some images from the upcoming film.

What do you all think about another Die Hard film? I really enjoyed the last Die Hard film, with all the action that it had for us. I know it will never win an Best Oscar award but it is one hell of a roller coaster film.

"I think we're going to do a 'Die Hard 5' next year.

That is what Bruce Willis told MTV while doing an interview for his upcoming film "Cop Out"

"The John McClane that exists is only in film and in people's minds. And it continues to grow, that mythology continues to grow," he explained.

Looks like the next film will take us worldwide. We have been in a building, an airport, in New York and the internet, so why not the entire world.

Looks like Marlon Wayans has beat out my man Eddie Murphy to portray Richard Pryor in the upcoming biopic of the comedy giant, the news was greeted with Internet jeering. Wayans wasn't surprised when he read the disparaging comments -- you can't hang your star on films like "White Chicks" and "Little Man" without consequences.

"Look, I want to be able to make the stupidest movies ever, because they make people laugh and they make money," Wayans recently said with a smirk. "But that's not all I want to do. And I think I've proven to some people -- the ones paying attention -- that I can do more. Everybody else, well, they can wait and see and make up their mind."

Wayans believes he is on the verge of winning over skeptics and just maybe establishing a name for himself that goes beyond his status as "the other Wayans" -- or maybe even "the other-other-Wayans."

Here's is a first in the series of podcast I will be bringing you about the upcoming film Ca$h. If you can not wait to see them all head over to The Film Ca$H Facebook page and check them out.

This film is on my must watch for 2010 and can not Wait until we get an official trailer of the movie. I am a huge fan of the director Stephen Milburn Anderson and who doesn't love Sean Bean.

And here's a quick fact Quick fact: CASH Producer Naveen was the first in the US to hire Chris Hemsworth, picking him up only 6 weeks into his move into the US. Now that is before Star Trek and his upcoming Film "Thor"So all you Marvel and Thor fans should thank Mr. Naveen for giving this young man a job.Enough for now.

Waking Sleeping Beauty is a documentary that we have heard incredible news about, and I am excited to finally see it with my own eyes. This is documentary is for the hard core and casual Disney fan out there. The documentary is a behind the scenes look at Disney and what what happened behind close doors from 1984-1994.

Official Plot Synopsis:

Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairytale. It is a story of clashing egos, out of control budgets, escalating tensions… and one of the most extraordinary creative periods in animation history.

Director Don Hahn and producer Peter Schneider, key players at Walt Disney Studios Feature Animation department during the mid1980s, offer a behind-the-magic glimpse of the turbulent times the Animation Studio was going through and the staggering output of hits that followed over the next ten years. Artists polarized between the hungry young innovators and the old guard who refused to relinquish control, mounting tensions due to a st…

Looks like Seann William Scott wants to shake the Stiffler type cast. As we reported last week Universal is in talk to make a forth American Pie film.

Sean said that he wants to do a part like Christoph Waltz in 'Inglourious Basterds,' I did 'American Pie' three times and then versions of that in ten other movies. If it makes sense and if it makes people laugh than maybe.

Watch the video at the bottom of the post which the film will be based on.

"Seann William Scott also told us that Kevin Smith has asked him to play the main role of Buddy in his upcoming hockey movie "Hit Somebody", based on the Warren Zevon hockey song of the same name. That song was co-written by Mitch Alborn who also wrote the screenplay with Smith, and it's about a hockey player who gets into the other hockey league of the '70s, the WHA (World Hockey Association), based on his fighting skills rather than…

Natalie Portman and her production company, Handsome Charlie Films, are currently searching for a director to helm Best Buds, a stoner road comedy Portman is producing and set to star in. The independently financed comedy is said to be in the vein of Harold and Kumar and Half-Baked and will center on two best female friends who take a road trip to their friend’s wedding in order to save her by bringing her weed.

Portman has been consistent in recent years with her script choices, regularly alternating big-budget fare with independent projects. She started her own production company in order to field more scripts suited to her tastes, and she’s already got Hesher (with Joseph Gordon-Levitt) ready for theaters (it debuted at Sundance), and it’s her production company that’s also moving forward with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which is expected to come after she finishes filming Thor. Best Buds would line up well following Zombies,…

Another review by Windy,make sure to stop by and say Hello to her. I am so glad she is on my team.

Shutter Island, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Michele Williams and Ben Kingsly, is the story of a Federal Marshall, Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio), sent to a mental institution to investigate the disappearance of a patient. However, as we get deeper into the film, we learn Daniels has alternate motives for visiting the island.

Having fought in World War II, rescued prisoners from Dachau Concentration Camp and lived through the loss of his wife, Daniels is a person who is more troubled on the inside than he realizes. DiCaprio sinks his teeth into this role and loses himself in his character. This is one of the few films where I forgot I was watching DiCaprio and instead focused on the character. Every aspect of Daniels is well executed – from his mannerisms to his display of emotion, including loss, confusion, an…
